Yeah (spoilers btw) zero and MC end up together- the actual issue came with the second couple, Ichi (2nd ml) and Rokka, a literal child SHE WAS CANONICALLY 5 YEARS OLD WHEN THEY MET he was 15. Then 10 years later they get together, she’s 15 he’s 25 like uhh she ain’t even done cooking after 10 whole ass years why tf did the author think that was a good idea. Main couple turns out fine, the side couple was WHACK.
I watched it on YT back when they’d post anime’s in little four minute clips, the videos sequestered in one quarter of the screen. I was invested and thought it was the peak of animation. It’s a lucky thing my next anime after I watched all the episodes available for it happened to be Ouran Highschool Host Club. I summarily proven wrong about my ignorant assumptions and forgot all about it only to see it here on this site over ten years later. All I remember—because I will not be subjecting myself to this a second time by reading it—is that I was rooting for the boy that was her actual age. His name was Zero I think and he and the main character had more of a rapport than she did with the man that could’ve easily been her father.
